1). This fall out is known as Walkaway wife syndrome, i.e. a relationship pattern where a wife emotionally detaches and plans to leave her marriage over a long period, making her eventual departure feel sudden and shocking not just to her husband but to everyone who believes the longer a marriage lasts the more it’s protected from breakup

2). Walkaway wife syndrome is caused by:
i). Years of asking for quality time, affection and deeper connection with no meaningful response
ii). Carrying an overwhelming mental load and managing household or family duties mostly alone
iii). Stopping requests or complaints because past efforts felt like screaming into a void
